Hand Woven Virgin Hebi

An intricate, hand woven rope pearl necklac made of thousands of tiny white freshwater seed pearls. Seed pearl necklaces were in vogue from the year 1840, and it's look like they made a comeback at London and Paris catwalk shows.  These pearls usually come from freshwater lakes in China. Commonly off-round, rice shaped to baroque and slightly less symmetrical and smaller, these pearls offers good value for the price

Orchira Pearl Necklace

Orchira has perfected a method of pearl stringing that has increased its restringing guarantee to eight years. Claimed method, patent pending by the way, involves some kind of sophisticated process of hand-knotting pearls on quadruple stands of Japanese silk.

My guess - it's just a very labour intensive method, which perhaps is suitable for fine pearl jewellery, such as classic pearls necklaces and designer pearl lariats. Not sure if it will be useful for commercial pearls or fashion jewellery. Although, I do like BoBijou pearl necklace designs. Very trendy.
